Some rappers got the spotlight, others got forgotten. In this episode of Grown Man Bars, Chad and BA pull up the barber chairs to salute the underrated MCs of the 80s and 90s — the ones who had bars, impact, and style, but never got their flowers.
We’re talking AZ, MC Ren, K-Solo, Vin Rock, Fife Dawg, Masta Ace, Craig G, Lord Finesse, Grand Puba, Mr. Cheeks, Young Bleed, and more. These are the voices that defined the golden era from the shadows.
If you grew up with the tapes, this one’s for you. If you didn’t, consider this a history lesson in slept-on greatness.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
